Gentlemen I want to warn you all about this store before the same thing happens to you. I used to frequent this store until I learned what kind of businessPERSON (I cannot even use the word man here) is.

I bought enough Panini Product to get the Damian Lillard redemption from Panini. I sent in my receipts and information and got a message from David Sharp (QA manager for Panini) that he needed to contact the local store to verify. So he did and I got an EBAY message from the store owner who said

"I have been contacted by Panini about your request for the Lillard autograph cards to verify these products were purchased before this promotion began. You have until tomorrow morning (Wednesday) to pay me the $915.00 or otherwise I will contact Panini with the email address I was given to void this transaction."

Please everyone beware of this store as I am working with panini to rectify the situation even as far as emailing Mark Warsop about this situation.

Does not look like it will. Even called Mark Warsop (CEO of Panini) and he said they need to stand by their customer and not the consumer. And to think I spent over $1500 on Panini products just to get this item.

Needless to say I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (Which by no surprise has Panini as a F rating) and filed with the local County Attorneys office for extortion against the local store.

I hope others learn from my mistake and choose other companies like Upper Deck or Topps so you do not get screwed like I did.

Bruce's shop is the same one where he will allow customers to walk in, pick packs out of the box, open them up...until they are satisfied with the number of hits they pulled, and THEN pay for the packs. That leaves nothing but dead boxes sitting on the counter. He usually will not restock until most of those last remaining packs are sold off. All of his boxes sit on the counter instead of behind them.

I've stopped going there for this reason alone after getting burned several times. I know there are other BO members on here who have felt the same way.

IM CONFUSED... do you have to spend $915 to get the lillard? Where is this figure coming from??

According to him to say yes it was purchased there because there was no date on the receipt. I offered Panini a screenshot of my CC statement to see how much was spent there and that it added up to the number on the receipt but they would not consider that.

That's because no one has punched Bruce in his throat guaranteed to be a game changer

Glad my LCS is a lot better, I don't understand why some LCS owners don't treat their customers with respect and appreciate their loyalty. My LCS(Big Hit Sports Cards) is awesome and they go out of their way to get to know their regulars.
